General information

Headteacher: S J G Doggart.

Background: Caldicott School was founded in 1904 by Mr. J. Heald Jenkins, who continues to take a keen interest in the school. The object of the school is to ensure that the four or five years spent there lays a true foundation of character and learning, so that a boy receives a real preparation for future life in a Public School.The question of food values has had the special attention of medical advisers, and there is a liberal allowance of fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and milk, throughout the year. It is at the Preparatory School that the foundations of learning and culture are laid down, and every effort is made to inculcate habits of conscientious study. House competition proves a big incentive to the latter.Two playing fields provide ample scope for games, of which the main are Association Football, Hockey, Cricket and Tennis, and the Annual Athletic Sports are held early in the Summer Term. Gymnasium Classes are held in Winter Terms and Swimming is taught during the summer. Scouting is greatly encouraged and the School has its own Troop.All precautions are taken to preserve the health of the boys. A careful examination of each boy is made twice a term by the School doctor, and an experienced trained nurse is on the resident staff.

Inspection: October 2001: 'Caldicott is a very good school. It has many good features and no significant weaknesses. Its chief strengths lie in the excellence of its pupils? behaviour and the high quality of learning and also in the very good quality of its accommodation and resources. The wide ranging programme of sporting and other activities and the high level of staff and pupil participation are other areas of strength, as is the very good quality of pastoral care. Academic achievement is high, and pupils make good progress not only in their academic work but in their broader education as they move through the school.'

Boys' age range: 7 to 13.
